Craigslist Founder Aids Local Nonprofit

Craig Newmark, founder of Craigslist and Craigconnects and former Morristown resident, is sponsoring a composting toilet for Grow It Green Morristown’s redesign of the Early Street Community Garden. Newmark, now a resident of California, grew up in a house across the street from the garden and used to play in the former junkyards of Early Street.

Newmark’s $10,000 sponsorship will provide a much-needed restroom facility as part of the garden’s new design that includes a public parklet, solar-powered community pavilion, ADA-compliant walking path, a composting center, apiary, bike repair station and 94 garden beds.

Composting toilets use little to no water and depend on aerobic reaction to break down the waste product. As Newmark says, “I like to support real community grassroots efforts in the most grassroots sense.”

Grow It Green Morristown is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Its mission is to create sustainable farms and gardens that provide equal access to fresh, local food and educate communities through programs focused on healthy eating and environmental stewardship.

5 Top Tips to Finding Your Next Doctor

1 Keep an Open Mind! Healthcare has come a long way. Today, you have access to practitioners that branch outside of traditional medicine and aim to identify the root causes of conditions while using alternative treatments that may help you get the relief you need. Just because it’s not a pill, doesn’t make it pseudoscience.

2 Build Your Health Care Team. There is no one doctor that can be the be-all-end-all for your health needs. Be sure to have a team of practitioners with different “lenses” and areas of expertise who will treat the root cause and not just the symptom(s).

3   Environment Influences Healing. Health is multi-factorial. Your mental and emotional environment plays a pivotal role in your healing potential. Your doctors and their staff should create an office atmosphere filled with positivity so you can get the most out of your care.

4 Your Story Matters.  Before you begin any treatment, be sure to have a comprehensive consultation to discuss your health concerns. Find practitioners who welcome questions and will take the time to listen and treat you with respect.

5 Report of Findings. When it comes to our health, we often make decisions without understanding the risk versus benefits. Knowledge is an important part of the healing process and is essential to make conscious, informed health decisions. Find practitioners who take the time to explain their exam findings and the recommendations for treatment in ways that make sense to you.
